DragonFly talk at the upcoming BAYLISA (15 December 2005)

[Matthew Dillon]

    Hello everyone!  I will be giving a DragonFly talk at the next
    Bay Lisa.  The primary focus of my talk will be a physical
    characterization (latencies, overheads, etc) of MP mechanisms
    and algorithms implemented by DragonFly.  I'll be explaining how
    the algorithms work and providing hard (TSC-derived) numbers from a
    dual-core Athlon 64 X2 based system.

    The Bay Lisa in question will be held on December 15's 2005 7:30 p.m.
    to 9:30 p.m.  on Apple Campus in Cupertino (California, USA).  Site 
    information and directions below:

        http://www.baylisa.org/

    It is open to the public.

    Since the algorithms are fairly low level, the discussion and hard
    numbers I present really applies to anyone doing MP work on any
    operating system.
